Electricity doesn't just float around in the air it travels along conduitsit runs along wires when lightning come down in a bolt it seeks to take the shortest distance it seeks out something conductive like a tree Dow which it can travel like water flowing down the mountain energy seeks and takes the path of least resistance
In magic the path your energy takes is sometimes referred to as a Channel it's like creating a conduit for the energy that you raised and directed.
